Abstract

The invention relates to a subprojectile (1) comprising a body, which is provided with a borehole (5) and consists of hard metal or heavy metal, an energy component (3) with or without a firing means (4) being incorporated into the borehole (5). The energy component (3) with or without a pressure-sensitive firing means (4) is fired or activated by air friction, by an ignition in the carrier bullet together with a firing charge, or at the latest when the target is hit.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe invention relates in particular to spin-stabilized submunitions of a projectile which have an energetic content.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONIt is known for incendiary compounds to be included as a fragmentation incendiary munition in a projectile body or explosive head together with a high explosive and in armour-piercing projectiles which do not contain any explosive. In addition to fragments, the detonation or mechanical fragmentation of the projectile or explosive head in or close to the target results in incendiary compound particles which fly at high speed and burn autonomously in the air. This results in a three-dimensional incendiary effect which extends over a long time.Known fragmentation incendiary munitions contain mixtures of high explosives such as hexagon, octagon trotyl and aluminum powder.DE 29 01 517 describes an incendiary compound having an organic binder and metal foam, for example composed of zirconium or hafnium, with polytetrafluorethy...
